Score Breakdown

About this Neighborhood

The Downtown West End sits in the western reaches of downtown Calgary, bounded by the Bow River to the north, and it's built for foot traffic with a near-perfect walk score of 98. The density is real — 77 restaurants and 25 coffee shops make this one of the most caffeinated, dine-able stretches in the city, led by Alumni Sandwich & Liquor Bar, Gaga Pizzeria and Lulu Bar. Foursquare regulars sketch a downtown-professional rhythm of pubs, wine bars, sandwich counters and pizzerias. Twelve grocery stops and seven parks keep the daily essentials and green breaks close, rounding out a core that residents rate a strong 4.7.
